The No.11 seed’s progress to the last eight has been impressive and now 23-year-old Dimitrov is ready to rock the Scot on Wednesday.

Dimitrov said: “So far I’ve been performing on a good level, I’m expecting to raise up my level in the next match and it’s not a new opponent for me – there’s nothing major I need to be aware of.

“I’ve practised against Andy many times and I think we’re both loaded up and ready to come out firing. It’s his home here. Everyone is with him and that gives him an edge whoever he is playing against.

“He knows his way around the grass pretty good, but at the same time that adds a little bit of pressure.

“I’m not going to take a step back. Best-case scenario is straight sets, but he’s not a mediocre player.”
